very much against him, he has managed

that he had wife and three children.

THE PRAIRIE FIRE.

A few evenings ago a party OF North :
western cattlemen were grouped together
in the rotanda of the Merchants Hotel
when one of them told this incident
which has romance enough in it for the
foundation for novel:
1t was in rs or '76, I don't remem-
Der which, was in the cattle business
in the Indian Territory, below Medicine
Lodge. had shipped drove of cattle
to Kansas City, driving them from the
Territory to Wichita, Kansas, and de-
cided to continue on the main line of
the road to Hutchinson, from which
place would take horse and ride
down to the territory. The distance
from Hutchinson to Medicine Lodge was
about ninety miles, which could be
reached by hard days ride.
By daylight the next morning I
was in the saddle and riding south The
day had been unusually warm and had
been riding rather slowly, with view
of pushing on faster when it had become
cooler. A breeze sprang up from the
south and gave my horse tap to urge
him on: but not minding the whip he
started in different direction than the
one which we had been going. He APP
peared to be uneasy, but supposed this
was caused from thirst. The sun had
gone down and the wind was increasing,
bringing with it faint odor of burning
grass. AS it grew dark | could see a
Pickering of light at distance, but
thought nothing Of it. 1t was not long,
however, before I discovered the cause
of the horses uneasiacs' Stretching

circle, was a streak of fire, and at
once realized that was in a dangerous

There can be no high civility without

which caps the waves after storm.
A great misfortune suffices to clothe
even the humblest of Gods creatures

There is othing so sweet as duty.

tho wake of duties done.

Gratitude is the virtue most deiied anil

rhetoric and the libel of practical life.
Be cheerful aud seek no external help,
nor the tranquility which others give. A
man must stand erect, not be kept erect

If man has clear idea Of what
he desires to do, he will seldom fail
in selecting the proper means Of ac-
complishing it.
The understanding is better employed
in bearing the mistortunes that actually
befall us than in penetrating into those
that possibly may.
The only way to 80 through this
world and avoid ccnsure is to take
some back road. You cannot travel the

Carrying the CreeI.

The mode OF procedure In The village
of Galashiels was as follows: Early In
the day after the marriage those inter-
csted in the proceeding assembled 2. the
house of the newly welded couple
bringing with them a "creei," or bas-
ket which they filled with stones. The
young husband on being brought to the.
door had the creel firmly fixed 10 his
back, and with it 10 this position had to
run the round Of the town, or ut icast
the chief portion Of it, followed by a
number of men to see that he did DOT
drop his burden; the only condition on
which he was allowed to do 80 beng
that his wife should come after him and
kiss him. AS relief depended altogether
upon his wife, it would sometimes hap
pen that the husband did not need to
run more than few yards but when she
was more than ordinarily bashful, or
wished to Lave little sport az the ex-
pense of her lord and master which ii
may be supposed would not uafrequant-
~ be the case--he had to carry his load
considerable distance. This custom
was very strictly enforced, and the per-
son who was last creeled had charge Of
the ceremony, and ne was naturally anx5
ious that no one should escape. The
practice as far as GaIashiels was con-
cerned came to an end about one hun-
dred years ago with the person OF one
Robert Young, who, on the ostensiblel
plea OF sore back, lay abed iii the day
after his marriage and obsiinateIy re-
fused to be crecled. He had, il may be
added in extenuation, been twice mar
ried before and had IN each OCCASION

creeled, and now. no doabt, fslt that he

AFeathe red Minnie.

M. D'Orbigny, traveller who was
passing through Guiana, in South
America, was, when encamped one night
in the edge of wood, awakened by
what he took to be the cries of a man in
distress. He listen d, and heard, tol-
lowing each other in great rapidity, what
seemed to be scream Of terror aud dis
pair, then supplication, and then cry
as Of one dying. The traveller leaped
from his couch, seized his gun, and
hastily woke his Indian guide.
"Come this instantl' he cried.
"There is some one being murd cred in
the thicket. Let us go to his assistance. "
Thereupon the cries were repeated,
and the Indian listened lie burst into
laugh.
"What do you meaGG" asked the tray
cler.
THAT, sir, said the guide, sis the
tion-tion bird, perched on limb some
where in the neighborhood. 1t is only
piece of mockery. Presently you will
hear him laugh"
And then, in fact wild shout as of
laughter rang out on the night air.
The tion-tion is sort OF South Amer
lean hooking bird, which has an extra
ordinary gift of imitation. 1t is also
bird Of great beauty of plumage. It is
sometimes called the ''yellow.neck."
Its feathers are of lively colors and its
tail is brilliant and spreading. The
natives use its feathers to decorate their
hats with on fcast-days and turn their
head gear into golden crowns in appear
ance.
The bird mimics almost every sound
he hears, and initiates the speech of
men as successfully as the parrot docs.
The inhabitants OF Guiana assert that he
can initiate faithfully the accent of the
English, French aud Spanish. Natural
sounds and the cries Of animals OF every
sort be reproduces very cleverly.

Charles Blake, once hard criminal,
was released from Newcastle, Del, jail,
after finishing three years sentence
for burglary. When he began his term
of imprisonment he was required to
stand in the pillory an hour, and was to
have received thirty lashes but,
through the pleading Of Blake's sister,
Governor Stockley RENTED the lashing.
He escaped from Jail three times while
serving his sentence, but was as often
recaptured. A glamor of romance sur
rounded Blake during his entire term at
Newcastle. Women admirers kept him
supplied with flowers, fruits and dainty
trappings for his cell; and in September,
1884, Sheriff Martin permitted him to be
married to the woman of his choice.
The bride was Miss Gussie Turner, Of
Philadelphia, and the wedding took
place in his cell. She has since been
very assiduous in her attentions to him,
and was at the Jail when he was released,
so they left Newcastle together. Blake
recently signed pledge to abstain from
all intoxicating liquors, and declared to
the Sheriff and others at the jail his in
tention of leading respectable life. 1t

termination,

of fire. Turning the horses head III the
direction from which we came let him
have the reins. He needed no urging
and covered the ground in fine style. i
looked back, and was dismayed to see
that even as fast as we were going the
fire was gaining on u.s. Giving the horse
sharp cut with the whip he gave a
lunge forward, but fell, throwing me
over his head. He had stepped into a
prairie dogs hole and broken a leg.
Seeing that he could go no further drew
my revolver and ended his life.
The fire was now less than mile from
me, coming before terrible wind, the
flames leaping high in the air. BY the
light | could see small hill few hun
dred yards away, and my only hope was
to reach that, perhaps finding shelter on
the opposite side. l put forth my best
efforts, but before covering half the dis
lance could hear the roar of the flames
and feel the heat, while the smoke was
suffocating. Making terrible effort |
kept to my feet for few seconds more,
and then consciousness left me.
When l awoke it was morning, and
bending over me was young woman.
Remembering what I had passed through,
my first impression was that | was dead
and in-well, where we all want to go
some time. But l soon found out my
mistake, and discovered that was in
cave dug in the side of a HILL In flying
from the fire my last step had brought
me to the door, and, falling, had forced
it open. The young woman was in
great distress, and told me that she
feared her husband had been caught in
the prairie fire. She told me her history
very briefly, saying that she was an
orphan, had been married but a short
time, and came from the East with her
husband to make home. Her husband
had left her alone two days before, hav
ing gone to the nearest town, and she
had expected him to return the evening
before Hastily eating what she had
prepared, we started in search of the
missing man.
The scene was desolate one, as far as
the eye could reach being sea of ashes.
We had gone little over mile when
we found the charred remains of the
woman's husband. / left her watching
over him while hunted up a habita-
ton, and securing assistance We buried
him near where he died. / hired a man
to take me to my ranch, where ! found
my partner had arrived all right. Shortly
after that sold out and came North,

Of the country soon.
